Thomas Hardy's Irish Bar

Thomas Hardy's Irish Bar is a late-opening pub on Brook Street in the centre of Ilkley, just a short walk from the Crescent and station approaches. Dogs are welcome inside, making it a practical stop when you need somewhere that stays open past the usual tea-time shuffle. It's an Irish bar with indoor rooms and a full licence, serving the usual pub drinks late into the night.

Opening hours run from 3 p.m. Weekdays through to midnight, with Friday and Saturday stretching until 1 a.m. And 2 a.m.

Respectively and Sunday kicking off at noon. The central Brook Street location means you can drop in after a moorland walk or before catching a train and the dog can join you inside without fuss. CAMRA marks it as dog-friendly and the late hours make it one of the few town-centre options when most other venues have locked up for the night.
